That teg is nice, i can't help but see the two NSX's that it's blocking though. Any pics of them?

 

Actally we had four NSX there 1 Acura NA1 2 Honda NA1 and one Honda NA2.

I can post pictures but I will do this in the meeting section.

 

You might as well do it all while you're in there. Steering rack bushings, lower control arm bushings, etc. My car has ~194,000 miles... I believe it was about due. Thanks for the love. It's my never ending project, can't let it die



Thanks man.
















That oil pan height

 

Lookin good Chase! Yea I bought the Energy master bushing kit.

Picked up a new daily last night, got a GREAT deal from a buddy that works at Jag/Land Rover, so rich guy traded it in, in mint condition!

 

My only latest pic of my DA

 

My 92 LS how it sits as of now. Sitting on Progress CS-II coilovers, and some unknown rims, I believe they're Audi but honestly do not know, just know they look good in white and on the car . If someone knows what they're from that'd be sick haha

Right before I put her away since I'm pulling the Motor/Trans this weekend.

 

Can people post up their steering wheel setups and seat setups too? I'm looking to get those soon and just to see some setups.

 

a photo of mine i found online after a local car meet

 

Nice, what wheels? Love me some 5 stars lol

 

Any of you all play with Plasti-Dip?

Was thinking or doing the wheels on the TSX just to see how it would look.

 

Looks great! I'm sure it's a huge upgrade to the CL.

I wouldn't change the rim color with plasti dip personally. But that's me.

 

Thanks man, it is big time!! I love it and should have got one sooner!
Hey question for you, what is the microphone on the dash, behind the wiper stalk? Is it something for cars that have Navi?

I'm not really liking the plasti dip thing but haven't worked with it and just exploring cheap ideas at this point but will probably leave it be and put some TL Type-S wheels on it.

 

Plastidip isn't holding up as well as I would have liked on my wheels, however it's on a track car, so I think the extra heat is the problem. I'm getting a bubble at the end of one of the spokes and the dip feels like it's hardened and is more papery and might flake off opposed to it having it's normal rubbery texture. If you do dip your wheels, I suggest using man many coats. I used 3 cans on my wheels and some areas ended up a little thin.

 

Thanks Colin! Got pics?

I was planning on buying about 4 cans of black and 3 or so cans of their pearilzer top coating.

Did you just take the wheels off the car and mask them off and spray? How long did it take, drying times between coats, etc?

matt, check out www.dipyourcar.com they have all kinds of info and videos on there to check out. a friend and i have both used it on our wheels and it works great. his is on a jeep goes offroading from time to time and has help up fine. i have also done my wiper arms and a strut bar with awesome results.

 

I used plasti dip on my moldings and mirrors, I personally wouldn't use it for anything else

 

using the plastidip to protect the wheels? changing the color of OEM wheels is a bad idea IMO. always looks like ****.

 

Hmm ok, think that's the site I saw.

Thanks for the input Herb.

No, just to change the color. Thanks for the input. Really don't know anyone that has used it and not sure if I have seen it on any wheels IRL.

 

I used the directions I got from their website or one of the videos they had posted, which conflict slightly with the directions on the can itself. But I don't think it matters much. After spraying about 3 cans worth on my wheels and running one track day I could see where the dip was thin. Admittedly this was probably my fault and I needed to get a little more even coverage. But I couldn't tell it was uneven as I was laying it down. It's strange getting used to how it sprays - it's not at all like normal spray paint.

I pulled my wheels off of the car, masked the tires a little bit and then did the spraying. In hindsight I should have done a better job of masking. I would mask all of the tire except the 1/2" directly up against the lip of the wheel. And when you lay down the dip make sure to lay it on just as thick on the tire as you do on the wheel, this will make it easier to peel off of the tire. I did the opposite and masked close to the wheel with 2" masking tape so I still got a little dip on the sidewall but since it was far from the lip it didn't get a heavy coat and thus was more difficult to peel off. You don't have too mask at all but you just end up using a lot more dip since you need to put a heavy coat on the tire in order to peel it off. If you have smooth sidewalls I wouldn't worry as much, but if you have tons of writing and markings on your sidewalls then I'd do a really good job masking or just lay it on real thick.

I also masked the area where the lugs go because I didn't want to mess up the dip when tightening down the lugs. Since my car is a track car I'm constantly pulling off the wheels to inspect things, rotate them...etc If you are just going to put the wheels on and leave 'em then maybe this isn't as much of a concern. I also managed to wear away some of the dip on the sides of the lug nut holes from the socket rubbing a little while removing lugs. This is after installing/removing probably 3-4 times, and I'm sure partly due to fairly light coverage in that area since it's not exactly easy to lay it down thick in that tiny area. You can kinda see it in this pic:

Here's what it looked like after my first track day. You can see the original gold color peeking thru

After that I decided to use all the remaining black I had and put as much clear as possible on there too (3 cans) to try and add some thickness in case there were other areas that were thing which I couldn't see yet. Also, the texture changed a lot since I sprayed over old dip. It seemed to work OK, but it's much preferred to lay it all down at one time.

Here's the bubble I was talking about. It happened in the same spot as where it started peeling originally and where I tried to cover it up with more coats later on. The bubble is dry and brittle feeling, not pliable and rubbery. I'm guessing that if I poked it, it'd just crack. My guess is the textural change was due to heat from my brakes - although it wasn't even after an event where I was doing heavy braking. CVR is actually pretty mellow on brakes.

Hopefully this stuff isn't baked on now and that I can still peel it off reasonably easily. The plan going forward will be to either have them powder coated or painted with an automotive 2 stage paint. I'm thinking mag blue if I can get it accurately enough color matched for a reasonable price.

 

I know I still need to drop it.

 

Very clean teg, you should paint the corner windshield trim and the door moldings

 

^ And don't forget the wiper arms

 

Thanks colin!

 

god i cannot stand the 90-91 front ends
